What screech would have gone up
from these same reformers if the Gov
ernor had proved Indifferent to the
State which are placed largely in his
keeping shreveport journal.
The Journal utters tremendous liv-
ing truth when it says that vital inter-
ests of the State are placed largely in
the keeping of the Governor. He is
the head of the State government and
whatever of wrong-doing that occurs
under the government should be and is,
visited upon him as the responsible
head.
The Journals proposition is mega
tive one. Can it affirmatively show
that the present Governor has been
faithful to all the "vital interests of the
State placed largely in his keeping ?"
Can it defend the land Office scandal?
Can it defend the saddlement Of the
State Debt amendment upon the peo-
pie Can it defend that 100000 appro-
priation to the Exposition upon the
personal guarantee OF a subordinate
that the money would be returned to
the State Can it defend the action Of
the. Governor in the Strong matter9
Can it defend the Governor against
the change Of responsibility for the so
per centum onslaught of w. r. Rut-
land on the school monies Of the State?
Answer these questions and say if
they be as "Weak as water?
We believe Gov. McEnery to be per-
sonally an honest, pure man.
Bot something more is needed in a
Governor. He is responsible for his
administration and he should not only
be honest and pure himself, but he
should keep bis administration clean

THE PEOPLE OPPOSED TO THIRD TERM.
Says the Shreveport Times:
Has it never occurred to the average
citizen Of this State that a third term
Governor is about as Objectionable as a
third term President.
CLAIBORNE PARISH SOLID FOR NICHOLS.
Says the Homer Journal:
This parish is practically so solid for
Nichols that it is hardly worth while
for parish paper to devote much space
or attention to the gubernatorial ques-
ton. A word in even a parish news
paper, however, may have some intiu
ence in other sections of the state.

FULL OF BUNCOMBE.
Saws the RustOn CaligraDh ::


Life is growing dull and monotouous
to Senator Eustis since the adjournment
of Congress, to relieve which the Sena-
tor has renewed his onslaught upon
President Cleveland. 1t is entirely a
harmless kind of amusement for the
Senator to indulge in, and so long as it
pleases the Senator the President will
hardly object to it. The fact is, Sena-
tor Eustis is chuck full Of political bun
connie and is still filling, and it would
be contrary to the laws OF nature if he
did not spill some OF it.
WANTS THE STATE ABLY REPRESENTED.
Says the Monroe Bulletin:
The hasty and premature announce
ment Of certain politicians, to the effect
that the defeat of Senator Randall l..
Gibson is already assured, has no weight
with those who are familiar with the
remarkably successful political career
of that gentleman. 1t would be unwise
to retire him to private life, it distin-
guished ability, long experience and ex-
tensive acquaintance count for any
thing. We hope to see Gen. Gibson re-
turned to the United States Senate, no
matter who may be elected Governor.

If cleanliness and godliness are cousins,
then nastiness and cussedness must be
bedfellows. This reflection results from
observations made iu front of the Dyer and
Sherman blocks, where the horses stand,
and where the street commissioners fail

A Paris despatch of Friday says:
Pranzini, the murderer of Madame Reg
nault. her maid and her maids child, was
guillotined at 5 o'clock this morning. He
made no confession. Vast crowds waited
about the place of execution during the
whole of the night and kept up con-
slant bowling and yelling. The mob was
horrible. When the chaplain, who was
to otficiate at the execution, arrived at
1 80 a. m. the mass of people was so
great that he was almost prevented from
reaching the gate of the prison. Pranzi-
nj marched from his cell TO the scaffold
with firm step and defiant air. When
the eXecutioners seized him the murderer
resisted and fought desperately, demand
ing that they let him alone. The eXecu-
TONERS overpowered him and threw him
upon the machine and in an instant had
him securely bound. Immediately the
terrible knife was started. 1t descended
with horrible slowness at first, but then
its movement quickened and the head of
the murderer rolled into the basket. The
mob outside became very disorderly dur
ing the progress of the execution.

given at the church Oh Monday. Hon.
E. A. Doud presided, and, after prayer
by Rev. w. B. Hague, Mr.. Grinnell gave
a full and comprehensive discussion of
his subject. In the treatment of it the
speaker was both grave and humorous,
filling up the recital with incident, story

hearers to the last. Supplementary re-

succession as sad recital, witty joke and
ready repartee ran their round. An or

from the band interspersed the exercises
with excellent music. A vote of thanks
was rendered Mr.. Grinnell for his inter-
esting address and committee appoint
ed to confer with him in regard to its
publication. Altogether, the affair was
a real success.

The Richville and Whiting clubs met

ust 81, and played for a prize of So.
The Richville's kept in good form des-
pite the Kicking" of their opponents;
and each player worked earnestly for the
victory, and had it not been for few
unavoidable errors on the part of the
home team the visitors would have had a
luch larger score to balance. The game
was close and interesting, the scores
running nearly even, and were at the
end of the eighth inning Richville, %
Whiting, 10. There is truth in the whis-
per that Richville is playing good ball
this season.
